I definitely feel the 4th line love tonight.

I didn’t see conclusive evidence that would make that offside. What did I miss?

Av's sent Tyson Jost down to the AHL.

Isn't it nice that that's what we are now? You don't have to look too far back to find a very different situation.

Yup, he’s on a great heater, got to see where it takes you. If he doesn’t come back down to earth? Fantastic... Good problem to have.

Yeah, that was a very poorly officiated game.

Brossoit. Wow, he was so solid tonight. Have to give him more starts, right? We’ll see what Maurice does. I was shocked he got the nod tonight, so...

Myers is back in, but Chairot is out. Brossy gets the start. Which I was surprised to hear.

Hey, has anyone heard about that score and win contest?

I think we'd all be okay with that.

Pardon?

That was a terrible 1st period. Jets didn’t have have one legit scoring chance and were a dumpster fire in their own zone. Hopefully they wake up for the 2nd.

I somewhat agree with this. There are definitely times where the Jets lack aggression and don’t apply enough pressure on the puck. It’s not a constant, but it shows up too often.

So, I guess it will be Samberg, Gustafsson and Virtanen at the World Juniors? Is there anyone else I'm missing?

To be clear, I in no way want Helle benched. He was under siege last night, especially in the final 2 periods. We had a heck of a time clearing our zone and also coughed up the puck several times in the neutral zone. He wasn't getting a lot of help and managed to keep us in the game. As others have mentioned, I was specifically referencing his ability or inability to play the puck behind the net. It's been a problem for a while now and I personally get nervous every time he goes back there.

Get a lesson from Leah Hextall. Just fix it.

Helle is hot garbage at playing the puck behind the net. Something’s got to change. We honestly might be better off if he never goes back there.

Petan will be in the lineup tonight. Maurice wouldn't say who's out, but it looks like it could be Lowry. Maybe Roslovic will move up to center the 3rd and Petan will center the 4th?

Pekka Jalonen‏ @PekkaJalonen #NHLJets prospect Kristian Vesalainen spoke about his decision not to go to #WorldJuniors in Vancouver: "I just came to Finland and I wanted to play the rest of the season with one team. It was a hard but right decision." 11:23 AM - 20 Dec 2018 Pekka Jalonen‏ @PekkaJalonen 2h2 hours ago "I have traveled enough with all that jet lag. Going to Vancouver, then back to Finland, then to China, back to Finland... that would've been crazy and too much." Pekka Jalonen‏ @PekkaJalonen 2h2 hours ago "I was thinking about this decision already when I came here. I spent a lot of time thinking about what to do. Now I'm happy with my decision. Sometimes you have to be a little bit selfish. I wish team Finland and the guys best of luck, I hope they'll come home with a medal."

Really don't like the back to back Thursday home games, in August.

Good to know. If his motivation is to work on his pro game, he probably should have stayed here on the smaller ice... But he seems to have a plan in place; hopefully it's the right one.

Vesalainen apparently turned down a chance to play with Finland.

Thank you sir, but that looks like last years list.

Same lineup again tonight, with Helle starting. Brossy should get the call against Vancouver.

Anyone know where you can find a list of Jets prospects playing in the World Juniors? I know a few guys, but I'm sure there's a couple I may be missing.
